There’s still time to make 2016 IRA contributions: The deadline is April 18. If the contribution is deductible, it will lower your 2016 tax bill. But even if it isn’t, a 2016 contribution is likely a good idea. Your money can grow tax-deferred (tax-free in Roth accounts). But annual contributions are limited by law, and any unused limit can’t be carried forward; once the deadline has passed, the savings opportunity is lost forever. The 2016 limit is $5,500 (plus $1,000 for those age 50 or older on Dec. 31, 2016). Want to learn more? Contact us.
